Hello. I bought this custom built Rolex Daytona 126509 from a member here at RWI, and the dial is an aftermarket dial. Seller said the dial should be RB, but the TD never confirmed it. So I’m curious, could any expert tell me if the dial is indeed an RB dial or something else?

I cannot say for sure... but it looks very good dial. The daytona red (print and colour) is great and the subdials sunburst really nice. Its better than the stock VS dial I have. What base is this?

I can't say with 100% certainty based on this one picture alone, but the font and font position on the subdials do look like a typical RB dial. Older RB dials used to have a much thicker subdial font (the RB 116506 dial is a good example of this), but they seem to have fixed this issue in their more recent dial variations.

Either way, this is a lovely build!
